Austrian government collapses as far right leader caught in video sting

Mr Strache has sold (or tried to sell) Austria to the Russians.
Which is why he and his right wing "Freedom party" is under attack.

"For weeks, opposition parties had called on Mr. Kurz to end his controversial coalition with the Freedom Party, with its well-documented links to far-right extremists and to Russia, which have increasingly worried allies at home and abroad."

"Many of Europe’s populists share the intentions of President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia to widen political divisions and weaken Western institutions. Those tactics have involved interfering in democratic campaigns including the United States 2016 elections [and brexit one might add]. And a Russian woman, Maria Butina, was sentenced to 18 months in prison in April after admitting that she had been part of that effort."

Kurz > New elections.
I do not suppose the new government will be "left".
But it is not about "left" or "right" – Why draw any conclusions from what is happening openly since 2016? People are dumb
